A new analysis found that nearly 700 drugs approved for use in the United States depend on chemicals solely produced in China.
The analysis found that China was the sole supplier of at least one chemical in widely used antibiotics, like amoxicillin, and generic drugs for heart problems, seizures, cancer and H.I.V.
for example, amoxicillin, the widely used antibiotic that is sold by many different generic manufacturers. Factories in different parts of the world, including India, Jordan and Canada, handle the later stages of producing it. But two of the raw materials used to make amoxicillin are produced entirely in China, the analysis found.
Well, that’s definitely not China’s fault. The US never should have outsourced everything to China.
Too bad RFK actively wants poors to just die
Not just the poors, he’s a eugenicist, and I’m pretty sure he’d need a muzzle in the same room as Anthony Fauci… well more than he does normally.
American is heavily reliant on China for raw materials.
All countries are interdependent. Chucklefucks like Trump and his “'Merica fuck yeah!” base honestly think America can do everything in-house. I mean, we could do loads more, but not all, and you can hardly spin up a 100 disparate manufacturing systems any time soon.
One might argue we pulled quite the trick spinning up for WWII, but it was a much simpler world. War materiel was far more basic and “What are rare earths?”
You should see the price of books lately.
That’s awesome, I have 5 prescriptions, it’ll be fine…
